The Job Of The Future: Til Death Do Us Part

Once again, so much is happening so fast. The Obama administration has been accused of misleading the taxpayers about the General Motors loan repayment. According to a report confirmed by the Inspector General, one category of TARP loan was repaid with another category of TARP money. According to the report, General Motors did not pay back their taxpayer loan out of production by selling new cars, they paid it back by obtaining another taxpayer loan. This is passed off as free market capitalism. In other words, real capitalism is now DOA. Dead on Arrival.

Bill Clinton "Admits" To Being "Wrong" About Derivatives

It's always refreshing when high profile politicians drop their guard and appear to tell the truth. It happened last week when former President Bill Clinton gave an exclusive interview to THIS WEEK on ABC. He acknowledged on camera that he was wrong to listen to what he called: "wrong advice against regulating derivatives". That wrong advice came from his former Treasury Secretaries Robert Rubin and Larry Summers.

Clinton's direct quote said: “On derivatives, yeah I think they were wrong and I think I was wrong to take [their advice] because the argument on derivatives was that these things are expensive and sophisticated and only a handful of investors will buy them and they don’t need any extra protection, and any extra transparency." He went on to say: “And the flaw in that argument was that first of all sometimes people with a lot of money make stupid decisions and make it without transparency.”

Why You Should Stay The Course On Gold and Silver (and gold and silver shares)

Stay the course. That's what I told a good friend of mine this past week who was getting anxious and nervous about gold and silver shares not performing at the higher levels he thought they should be at by this point in time.

He told me the past year and a half have been really hard to get through. Friends of his who are invested in the dow saw half their portfolio evaporate in the financial collapse of 2008 and 2009. My friend saw 80% of his gold and silver shares evaporate in the same period. He's having a hard time reconciling the fact that many of his friends have seen their stock market portfolios rebound almost completely, while his gold and silver shares have only recovered halfway. His friends, his family and even his wife, are questioning his rationale (and judgment) for investing in gold shares. To complicate matters, the difficult economy has forced him to sell a little bit of his gold and silver, just to stay alive, and keep the wolf away from the door, this past year and a half.

Hitting The Reset Button On The Global Financial System

The more I turn on the mainstream news, the more I want to turn it off. Everyday, it feels more and more like Alice in Wonderland, because everyday, we're doing all the running we can do, just to stay in place. And the place where we're staying, grows darker by the hour. At the Commodity Futures Trading Commission hearings two weeks ago, we were told with a straight face that the London physical gold market is actually a paper market for gold. They just call it a physical market.

Stop right there and let the implications of that "language substitution" sink in for a moment. When bullion bank executives claim that their short positions in U.S. markets are offset with physical positions on the London market, what they are actually saying is that paper positions in the US are offset with paper positions in London. In other words, they are lying to your face, and they know it. The London gold market is leveraged, by their own admission, 100 to 1, paper to real gold. In other words, it's ALL paper. It's ALL leverage. There's virtually no real physical gold on the London market relative to the amount of trading that takes place. Bullion bank executives are relying on your interpretation of the word physical to actually mean physical, hold in your hand, gold bullion, instead of the phony paper certificates they have been using to exponentially prop up the dollar and other world currencies, while at the same time, smothering real gold with a paper blanket.

Sneak Preview of GATA CFTC Whistleblower Analysis To Be Heard on GoldSeek Radio

The most explosive story of this past week was the public hearing held by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, the CFTC. The discussion focused on large concentrated short positions in the marketplace held by major bullion banks, and whether these positions are indicative of market manipulation, and if so, should the CFTC impose position limits to curb such manipulation. At the heart of these hearings were presentations made by Bill Murphy and Adrian Douglas of GATA - the Gold Anti-Trust Action Committee. For 11 years, GATA has documented, using evidence on the public record, how gold and silver prices have been artificially suppressed through excessive short positions by major bullion banks. This has resulted in gold and silver being kept artificially low, and the dollar, along with other world currencies, artificially high.
